We've got to work to save our children and do it with full respect for the fact that if we do not, no one else is going to do it.

If you worry about who is going to get credit, you don't get much work done.

We have to see that all of us are in the same boat.

I want to be remembered as one who tried.

I am the product of many whose lives have touched mine, from the famous, distinguished, and powerful to the little known and the poor.

Progress comes from caring more about what needs to be done than about who gets the credit

We are not a problem people, we are people with problems.
